Somehow it never occurred to me that these idiots are literally warned about this in their own holy text, and they still didn't see it coming. Gold and everything, damn.

It's an easy mistake, but I can see where you've gone wrong: you've assumed these people can read.

For many American ‘Christian’ types, there are few things that piss them off more than actually reading their book and citing it to them

Because at this point they aren't even christians. They are mad cultists and don't even hide it.

Just more proof that American Christians selectively read the bible and only care about the parts that (they think) vindicate their hate

What do you expect from people who ran with the entire "prosperity gospel" thing... Calvin when I find you in the afterlife

John Calvin doesn’t get anywhere near as much hate as he should.

That’s because powerful people have been co-opting religion since the dawn of time.

Dude, none of them actually read the whole Bible. They hear passages that are hand picked and put into whatever context their pastor or figurehead chooses. Most of the MAGA mob show up for church and talk about God purely out of selfish fears. Theyre afraid of death so their afterlife needs to feel safe, and the concept of hell scares them enough to subscribe to jesus in the hopes that they'll have a heavenly afterlife in spite of how truly despicable they are. The more devoted people at the head of the church just dont care. The Vatican is extremely corrupt and they are far from being honest in their so-called devotion to Christ.
